You know, the city he spurned Alabama for? You know, the city of the team, the Dolphins, he left high and dry to go back to the college ranks?

Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski, now an ESPN NFL analyst, is one who doesn’t think so highly of Saban, despite the coach’s success at Alabama.

Jaworski was interviewed on Philadelphia radio station 97.5 The Fan and had this to say about Saban, who some are touting for the Eagles job if Andy Reid gets fired.

“I’m not a Saban guy, because I don’t like liars, and I think he lied,” said Jaworski. “I think he lied to the Miami Dolphins, and to the fans of Miami, and he left. And it’s pretty simple, I think integrity is very important, if you don’t have integrity, I don’t know how you can be successful. Yeah, I know he’s great at Alabama, and he’ll probably win another national championship, but I just don’t like people that don’t have integrity, so it’s pretty easy for me to say I don’t want Nick Saban in town.”

Saban repeatedly denied he would take the Alabama job before doing just that.

The Dolphins were 15-17 under Saban, including 6-10 his last season there.

Saban’s six Alabama teams (67-13) have fewer losses than he had in two years with the Dolphins.

Trivia time

At what school did Saban get his first head coaching job?

They said it

• Comedy writer Alan Ray, on the Lakers’ struggles: “It’s taking some time for the guy who runs the team to learn the names of the players. But enough about Kobe.”

• Vikings receiver Michael Jenkins, to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, on his team’s 6-1 record at home and 1-5 on the road: “Maybe we should take the Metrodome sign and move it to other teams’ stadiums.”

Stop the presses

From Dwight Perry of The Seattle Times: “ESPN president John Skipper, in a startling turnabout, says the cable giant went way overboard on its Tim Tebow coverage and needs to cut back on it.

“Egads, the Mayans were right — the end IS near!”

They should be so proud

Forbes’ Monte Burke followed Joe Moglia, the coach of the UFL’s Nighthawks for a book he was writing.

In his book, he details a class Moglia ran for his players, which includes former Buckeyes star Maurice Clarett.

Clarett talked about his time at Ohio State.

“I took golf, fishing, and softball as classes,” Clarett says. “Away from class, anything you can think of I did in my 13 months at Ohio State.” Drugs and women were two of the things. Cars were another—he owned three of them at a time, including a brand-new Cadillac and Lexus. “I was living the NFL life in college,” he says. “I got paid more in college than I do now in the UFL.”
